She was born and lives Wrocław, Poland and graduated from the University of Wrocław, majoring in art history.
She has been illustrating books for several years. She has a cat at home who is often a source of inspiration, and she loves drawing animals and creating animal characters, sometimes giving them human traits and attributes.
